and that was governor romney's finest moment in the campaign. the first debate thank you for being here. the title today is the future of the republican party. this assumes of course it has one. [laughter] let's start by talking about the election because you played a crucial role in ohio, and i want to give your sense we are now seeing reports that the campaign was very surprised by the outcome even right up to the evening of election day because they were showing something different than everybody else. is that true and really how surprised was the campaign? >> first was a very close election in ohio even if we want ohio it turns out that the electoral votes would have gone to president obama but we lost by two points in ohio. recall back in 2004 when john carey lost to george bush he would often say both publicly and to me on the floor of the senate and the people you could fit in the ohio stadium why would the president today. so it was a very narrow victory. i do think there were some reasons that were almost technical some as you understan

i'm sure that governor romney is spending some time with his family. and my hope is before the end of the year, though, that we have a chance to sit down and talk. you know, there are certain aspects of governor romney's record and his ideas that i think could be very helpful. and, well, to give you one example, i do think he did a terrific job running the olympics. and you know, that skill set of trying to figure out how do we make something work better applies to the federal government. there are a lot of ideas that i don't think are partisan ideas but are just smart ideas about how can we make the federal government more customer friendly, how can we make sure we're consolidating programs that are duplicative. how can we reduce additional waste. he presented ideas during the campaign that i actually agree with. it would be interesting to talk to him about something like that. there may be ideas he has with respect to jobs and growth that can help middle-class families that i want to hear. i'm not either prejudging what he's interested in doing nor a

because it seems to me in the last election people might have said well governor romney was among the most centrists of the candidates but he had to pass through that primary system. how can that be adjusted? >> yeah. i think on the democratic and republican side there was a lot of talk about that. until you go to a national primary which no one is talking seriously about, you're going to have this issue. and i was with somebody last night who told me there was some iowa republicans who were recently meeting say, gosh, we've got to be careful that people won't even come participate in our caucus system again, to get enough people involved so it is a broad spectrum of the republican party. that is state by state through the caucus system and more of a self-selected system. we need to be careful people are broadly representing the party. primaries i think are going to continue and go through that vetting process this go round. the president has no primary opponent obviously and he was free to have a rose garden strategy at first, but at the same time pummel mitt romney on the airwaves i

i like to say a brief word the thanks to our own nominees, governor romney and congressman ryan. they may not have won the race, but htey earned our respect and admiration. they fought valiantly for the cause of limited government, free enterprise, opportunity for all, and a stronger social safety net that is there when people need it most. they fought for the kind of constitutional conservatism americans believe in so very strongly. their lost says nothing to diminish the importance of these enduring principles or our commitment to keep fighting for them. we thank them. we thank their families for making the sacrifices in the presidential campaign demands. i want to assure everyone the cause goes on. on ot the task at hand -- in politics, there is always a temptation among those who win office to think they have a mandate to do what they will. it is the important to remember in this case the voters reelected a republican- controlled house last week and a closely divided senate. in a government of three equal branches, that is hardly irrelevant. most people may focus on the white
